Solved Total players played on server

Ok so im making something where i get the total players played on the server ever. I got it but when i reload the server it restarts. So what i was thinking was to use like a int or string in the config but how would i add 1 to a string in the config every time a new player joins. I dont know how i would make it so that it keeps adding 1 when a new player. Thanks guys!

 

I'm not really sure, but I think you could just get the online players and the offline players, then add up the length of them.

Well if you want to do that, you'd have to setup a onJoinEvent that checks player.hasPlayedBefore; if not, add one to your int, then save your config

Code:java

 
@EventHandler
public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
    Player player = e.getPlayer();
 
    if (!player.hasPlayedBefore()) {
        int i = getConfig().getInt("players");
 
        i++;
 
        saveConfig();
    }
}
 

note: this was not created in an IDE, so there may be errors about.

 

Code:java

new File("world/players/").list().length;

That will count all the files in the world/players folder.... Essentially every time a user logs on a .dat folder is created in the main worlds players folder. This is just counting how many of those files are there... Basically if a user has logged in there would be a file there with their name.

 

But isn't there already a method in Bukkit that allows you to get the total players that have played? I'm pretty sure there was, but things have changed.

 

MrSparkzz

Code:java

int totalPlayer = Bukkit.getOfflinePlayers().length + Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().length;

 

Only one problem... You're adding the amount of offline players to the amount of offline players. Instead of the amount of offline to online.

 

(facepalm)

Edit: fixed
